A grown man can cover
30 feet in fewer than 3 seconds, and begin his
assault upon you. Whether he has a knife, a
hammer or just two meaty fists and deadly intent,
you've suddenly got your hands full!

Many pistol fighters
drill with such an assault in mind. From
standing with your arms at your sides, how long does
it take you to sweep under your coat, clear leather
and double tap center mass? Seasoned fighters
will incorporate a weak hand extension as the strong
hand pulls the weapon, acting to deflect and
redirect the attackers energy as he reaches contact
range.

In the real world as
you handle such an attack, you'll pull the trigger
with your pistol at your waist, point shooting
because you will not have the time or the range to
bring your weapon up for a sight picture.

Many CQB courses will
teach you to rock back slightly to create a bit more
range as you fire. This technique is
dangerous, and it plays upon the natural human
instinct to separate and create distance in
conflict. But the real world result is that as
the attacker makes contact and moves into your
space, you surrender your balance by unnaturally
rocking backward at the waist.

The proper response
is to turn and enter slightly as your attacker makes
contact, keeping your weight over your belt and
letting centripetal energy carry your attacker
by...as you press the muzzle of your weapon to his
body and double tap.

The attacker will
fold and you still have your balance, and you are in
a strong position for the next attacker.

But this column isn't
about static training exercises.

Defeating our
hypothetical attacker above assumes that you
recognize the threat in time to do anything about
it. It also assumes that you are mentally
prepared to do something about it.

Those are two
monumental assumptions.

If you are on one of
Big Brothers lists (and if you are reading this
column, you are on a list, get over it), then
you must assume that if Big Brother decides to move
against you they will not approach you as they would
the common rabble. This holds true especially
if you have posted in a militant or defiant tone
(Big Brother dislikes that tone), or if you have
anything in your past that would lead Big Brother to
treat you more like a Lion than a Sheep (Say, you
are former military, or otherwise know how to make
things stop working in a violent and certain manner).

If Big Brother
concludes that you may be one of those people who
expects them to show up, and he further concludes
that you may have a few surprises prepared for him
at the typical entry points of your home, he may
decide to make a move on you away from your castle
defenses.

So, think about our 3
second drill above. Do you maintain proper
situational awareness when in the grocery store to
identify a baddie coming at you down the aisle?
What if the butcher putting meat in the refrigerated
box...isn't really a butcher? As you reach for
the Porterhouse, he shows you the muzzle of his
service weapon from 9 inches away. If your
wife and kids are with you, your options just went
from really, really bad to the realm of nightmares.

What if you are
loading the car in the parking lot, and the
housewife pulling into the space next to yours
smiles. Your only real hope is that she
doesn't cut it too sharp and scratch the paint on
your car. Are you ready for her to draw down
on you? What about as you pull up to the
intersection leaving the shopping center. One
of those scruffy guys is in the median, holding up a
sign and asking for change. As he passes a few
inches from your window...he shows you the muzzle of
his service weapon?

That 3 second drill
is now useless.

The point is not that
your situational awareness needs work...though it
probably does. The reality is that you simply
can not be completely prepared for any and every
potential. You do the best you can and work
with what you've got.

The real point is
this: When you are an active target,
nothing is as it seems.

The rules in
effect are: There are no rules!

Respect that reality,
and you may just live a bit longer.

Excerpt: There
comes a time when civility is no longer appropriate
as the only option on the table. Dare we not offend the
sensibilities of Liberals, Socialists, and Communists in our
midst who are ruining and destroying our republic? Are we
to cower and sheepishly genuflect when we are scolded for
the tone or choice of our words in the face of ruin,
poverty, tyranny, and death?!

Are
we so frightened of chastisement from insignificant men and
women of the political Left with stained and darkened souls
that we turn from our duties of Patriotism and shun our
sacred obligation to support and defend the Constitution of
the United States of America? We ask you, is not our
republic worth the risk of being castigated? Is the soul of
our mighty nation no longer worthy of our fortunes, our
lives, and our Sacred Honor? Have we lost so much of our
heritage, our courage, our mettle, and grit that we will
stand idly by and permit the foolish and the stupid, who
work hand-in-hand with evil people in our nation, that we
will permit them to send us into eternal slavery and tyranny
as the world has never before witnessed?

Excerpt: You are a
fool if you do not believe that elements of the Left would
use force, if they could, to compel you to comply with many
of their edicts. In drafting healthcare reform, they use
the threat of financial fines, felony conviction and
prison if you refuse to buy health insurance!

How is that not only a
degree or two removed from a pistol to the head? We are
undeniably heading toward the same tyrannies known to
Russians, Germans, and the Chinese. It starts with
Liberalism, advances to Socialism, and ends with Fascism,
Communism, or some other tyranny…and death.

Excerpt:
We have a
culture of people whose first response to a physical threat
is to dial 911, or worse, a lawyer. We have a nation of
people who will dump hot coffee on themselves, then sue the
restaurant – and win! We have a nation of educators
who suspend children for drawing a picture of a handgun or
for bringing a Boy Scout knife-and-fork kit to show and
tell!

We have a nation of
people so removed from the food chain that many would starve
to death if the local supermarket closed. We have a nation
of people who cannot truly grasp the hardships faced by most
of the people in the world every day, and as a result we
have a nation of people who have lost fundamental common
sense.

Excerpt: The Bill
of Rights articulates the natural rights of man, rights that
are not bestowed by government, but rights that are innately
ours as human beings. These rights may not be taken from
us. These rights were written in plain language so that no
clever interpretation and manipulation of the intent was
possible. These rights may not be restricted, narrowed, or
infringed. Any attempt to do so is a violation of the
relationship between Man and Creator.

Every narrowing,
restriction, infringement, and clever interpretation imposed
upon us in the years since our Constitution was ratified is
simply a violation of our natural rights.

We hold that every
violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by those in
Government is an act of Treason, as these violations are
unjust, undermining the fundamental foundations of our
republic, breaking the pact between citizen and government,
and desecrating the relationship between Man and Creator.
Any man or woman who enforces these unconstitutional laws on
behalf of government is a treasonous soul and an enemy of
Liberty and humanity.

Sons of
Liberty Flag

Try not to make it to
the Big League before it begins.

How do you know when
you have made the Bigs?

You catch a Federal
case.

When you earn real
attention from our Masters, you'll know it...usually
after it is too late. Our Masters will
tolerate quite a bit from folks, even Patriots who
are rabble-rousing. They really don't care if
you are stocking up on rice and beans, even rifles
and bullets. They don't care if you call them
names or incite a few misdemeanors or send them
snarky little letters. If you are trying
to get their attention and you have not yet caught a
Federal case, it's still amateur hour...or maybe you
are valuable to them...

It's when you start
to have an impact on the flow of dollars that you
will earn real interest. Write a report that
negatively impacts the stock value of a few Fortune
50 companies, and you will soon have a genuine
understanding of the term
Lawfare.

You may also be schooled on Constructive Possession.

There are many
lessons you may be taught. Right Now.

You will learn inside
baseball details about the US Code that will make
you ill.

The world begins to
move very, very quickly.

You will be faced
with stark choices that have never entered your mind,
because you think you understand the rules.

You
do not understand
the rules, until you have been inside the machine.

Then your options are
put on the table: 2 years if you take the deal, or 20 if
you fight...and we'll add a Conspiracy case for your
little dog, too...

You will learn that
the power of a US Attorney is crushing.

Do not make it easy
to take you out of play, Patriot.

And, it is oh, so
easy...if they ever decide to do it.

The choice is
theirs...not yours.

Truth, Justice & the
American Way?

Not so much.

The DOJ conviction
rate is 95% in a bad year, and pushes above 98%
according to some stats. The deck is not only
stacked in their favor, they own the deck. And
the card table. And the casino. Do you
understand?

Can you name any
Federal bureaucracy that runs at a minimum 95%
efficiency rate? What does that tell you?

Do not make the
mistake of thinking that you intimidate them just
because they have not yet chosen to come for you...

The
Point: If you are trying to incite Big
Brother to notice you, go for it! But,
man up and roll bigger dice.

If
you would prefer to make your preparations for it
with relative impunity, just go about your business
and avoid taking actions that will make it easy for
Them to take you out of play, and do not give them a
reason to take you out of play. Don't
telegraph about the details of your preparations or
defensive measures. Don't put a pistol in your
belt, against your local laws, unless you are
willing to use it when LEO spots you in the
convenience store. Avoid gratuitous violence.

Do
not draw hyperbolic lines in the sand. When
you draw lines in the sand that you do not defend,
it reveals you for what you are deep in your
Soul...and some of that bad energy splatters on us,
too.

There
will be plenty of opportunities for a fight, if you
want one, soon enough. Be smart, stay off the
radar, so that any fight you engage will be on
your terms.

Get your head
on straight, Patriot!Following the counsel of idiots and
hollow heroes regarding SHTF circumstances will get you
dead...and if you can't tell the difference between
serious men and hot-air machines, you're already half
way to a mass grave. Growling on
blogs about how you will not yield one more inch, or one
more of your gun rights, then letting LEO have your
pistol during a traffic stop makes you a pathetic joke, not
a Leader worthy of serious consideration. Hyperbolic
proclamations about what you will do to any Alphabet Agency
team making a dynamic entry to your home is hardly helpful
to the Patriot cause.

Man up
and think for yourself, or you are wasting perfectly
good air, and feeding those who depend on your intellect
and common sense false hope.

"Liberalism, and Liberals, are ruinous to the republic,
and must be marginalized if America is to survive.
Patriots must step
to this challenge and risk the wrath of the Politically
Correct, and do the work that must be done to honor our
Fathers. Liberals must be stopped, at any cost." -
Kerodin

"No, I apologize for nothing. I know the truth,
regardless of what may be in the press. I know
that when I stand before Saint Peter, I will be granted
passage. If I am ever granted audience with God, I
have nothing to fear. I have lived the life He
chose for me, and I still have much work to do..." -
Kerodin

"No
man looks forward into life when young and can imagine
for himself the life I have lived. But I am better
for it. I have been places never anticipated.
I have had experiences never dreamed. I have met
people who would have never otherwise been in my social
or professional circle. I have, many times, leaned
upon the words of Winston Churchill - 'When you are
going through Hell, keep going!'" - Kerodin

My
family continues to promote my values where I can not.
They are Patriots. If you ever meet my wife, you
will meet the most loyal wife and Patriot in America.
She is brave, brilliant, and bold. We fight
Liberal stupidity together through the First Amendment.
Laws change - and one day I will stand with her again in
the Second Amendment fight that she carries on when I
must stand aside." - Kerodin

Current political leaders are only the face of the problem
confronting America today. The underlying cancer
eating the American Soul is Liberalism. But for your
Liberal neighbors, Liberal politicians would never be
elected to office.

It is not sufficient to simply defeat Liberal politicians at
the polls. Liberalism must be defeated in our society
and Liberals must be marginalized, or this disease will kill
the republic.

Every patriotic business owner should immediately fire every
Liberal on staff and hire an employee who respects the
nation and our Constitution. Why should any business
owner suffer an employee who will simply vote for
politicians who further ruin the company?!

The Liberals in your community must be ostracized and denied
entry into your social circle. These stupid people are
responsible for the insanity that affects everything from
your property taxes to the curriculum taught to your
children. Why would you break bread with them, when
they are the reason your bread costs too much? Why
would any parent permit them access to their children, when
they are responsible for ruining your child's future?

Excerpt:

This book
may not be for you.

If you consider yourself to be a Liberal or Progressive,
go away. You are not permitted to buy this book. This
book is written by patriotic Americans for patriotic
Americans. This is a discussion among ourselves, and if you
are a Liberal politician or you vote for Liberal
politicians, (Of the genusStupidus
Liberalis) you are not invited to participate.

First, we will demonstrate that all politicians, judges, and
government employees at the Local, State, and Federal levels
who support federal Healthcare Reform, the Assault Weapons
Ban, TARP, Stimulus I, Free Trade Agreements, PATRIOT Act,
the new “Jobs” bill, or a host of other such Federal
programs or initiatives, are guilty of Treason against the
United States of America.

Secondly, businesses, multi-national corporations and
special interest groups that support Liberal politicians
and/or Liberal programs, Cap & Trade, Global Warming
legislation, et cetera, are committing Treason against the
United States of America.

Finally, we will demonstrate that those private Citizens who
support or vote for any of these politicians—once the nature
of the politician is known to the public—or programs are
equally guilty of Treason by knowingly lending material aid
and support to a Traitor.

Excerpt:
The five most
expensive parts of our national budget are:

1.Social Security

2.Medicare

3.Medicaid

4.Defense

5.Interest on the National Debt

Numbers 1, 2 and 3 are
wholly unconstitutional and brought to us by Liberals.
